Online Nightbane game

Unread post by Diamond Spear »

I am looking for 2-4 players for an online Nightbane game I will be starting. Below are a few things to keep in mind before applying to the game

1. I am only looking for players who want to play Nightbane. No human or other OCC/RCC.

2. The PC's MUST be able and willing to function in and with a group. No loaners/paranoids need apply. I will also be asking that each player submit a background for their character although this can be as brief or extensive as the player wishes.

3. The players and their characters must be able to function within a hierarchy in which they are subject to orders. This doesn't mean the PCs will be slaves or get railroaded but it is expected that they will be able to accept that they sometimes will be given orders that need to be obeyed even if they disagree with them.

4. Keeping mind the point above the PCs will be given ample opportunity to not just influence but to direct the course of the game. Plot hooks from the backgrounds the players submit about their characters will be given heavy consideration in how the game unfolds. After all the game is supposed to be about the players.

5. Where the rules as written or the background of the game come into conflict with compelling storytelling, storytelling will win every time.

If you are inerested please post a reply here.

just a couple thoughts:

1) you may wish to post this in the "game room announcements" forums as well. (URL is viewforum.php?f=45 if you didn't know, technically it's only if you're using chat rooms but lots of people looking for games in general likely keep an eye on it).

2) you should probably specify information like factions, what books people can use, etc, in order to keep characters appropriate for your game. for example, if someone wanted to make a character heavily based around travel to the astral plane, and you don't own the right books, you may run into some issues ;)

you should also list what day you are planning to run it, what time of day, and how often. usually the biggest question in a game is the scheduling.

You have no idea how much I want to join this game. I have been looking for so long to join a Nightbane game it's not even funny, nor was it ever. You name the website and I will be there. I already have a character rolled up.

Not me. Either he filled his group already or hasn't been able to get back. Either way, I was hoping for a game that would post fairly regularly in a PBP or PBEM style and this guy isn't responding quick enough to make me think his game would do that.

I'd love to find a game that has daily posts from the majority of players.

I am right there with you, LostOne. I can't believe that almost no one has even heard of Nightbane throughout the online gaming community much less want to play it.

I'm still here looking for a GM too. If we could just get enough people together I would be fine with playing by Skype or IRC.
